The more and more I have deployed using FastCGI and SCGI, the less
and less I like it.  I am starting to recommend HTTP proxy for most
deployment scenarios, especially considering that CherryPy 3 should
be considerably faster than CherryPy 2.

Deployment with TurboGears is difficult in general right now, because
there is not a unified mechanism for deployment.  Deploying using HTTP
and a proxy is the easiest because its essentially the default.  All
other deployment options are slightly different to configure, setup,
and run.

Personally, I think that TurboGears should either create a package
that focuses on deploying TurboGears applications behind a variety of
WSGI servers, or simply adopt Paste Deploy[1], which already provides
such a thing.  Paste Deploy certainly has its warts, but adding it to
TurboGears would be a good opportunity to iron those warts out, and
it would help to make deployment a consistent task, regardless of your
deployment target.
